If the scope of a license from a Third Party is broader than is required for the Exploitation of Licensed Products under this Agreement, only the royalties payable with respect to the Exploitation of Acorda Products under this Agreement shall be deductible under this Section 4.3.3.

Acorda shall reasonably cooperate to reduce tax withholding on Payments to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding such efforts, if Acorda concludes that tax deductions or withholdings under the laws of any country are required with respect to payments to Medtronic, it shall deduct or withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate governmental authority. In such case, Acorda shall promptly provide to Medtronic, at Medtronic’s cost, copies of receipts or other proof of such payment reasonably available to Acorda.

Except as provided below, the cost of any audit shall be borne by Medtronic, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than [***] from the reported amounts, in which case Acorda shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 4.9, if such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during such period, Acorda shall pay the additional amounts with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 4.6, or Medtronic shall reimburse such excess payments with interest from the date originally paid at the rate provided in Section 4.6, in either case, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such audit is completed and the conclusions thereof are notified to the Parties.

4.10 Confidentiality. Medtronic shall treat all information subject to review under this Article 4 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and Medtronic shall cause the certified public accountant retained by Medtronic under Section 4.8 to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with Acorda obligating such accountant to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against a Medtronic Indemnitee or an Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 9.4.2, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless a Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of such Third Party Claim.

9.4.2. Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 9.4.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof and reimbursement of expenses relating thereto has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.4.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense) or (c) the interests of the Indemnified Party and any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of all such Persons under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

9.4.3. Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claims relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim that shall not result in a Medtronic Indemnitee or an Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of such Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, in any manner and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify such Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.4.1, the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any

settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim, provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Third Party Claim by a Medtronic Indemnitee or an Acorda Indemnitee that is reached without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not, and the Indemnified Party shall ensure that each Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, does not, admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.4.4. Cooperation. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party and any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making all Medtronic Indemnitees or Acorda Indemnitees, as applicable, and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that neither Party shall be required to disclose legally privileged information unless and until procedures reasonably acceptable to such Party are in place to protect such privilege, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

9.4.5. Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the right to indemnification of any Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable, subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify a Medtronic Indemnitee or Acorda Indemnitee, as applicable.

9.4.6. Proceedings in Respect of Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9, the Parties’ respective rights to control the prosecution, defense or enforcement of Licensed Patents, Licensed Know-How or Product Trademarks under Article 5 shall be subject to the provisions of Article 5 (but if such claims are Third Party Claims subject to indemnification and defense under this Article 9, the costs and expenses with respect to such defense, and liability with respect to such claims, shall be allocated as set forth in this Article 9).

9.5 Limitation on Damages and Liability. [***].

9.6 Insurance. Each Party shall have and maintain such type and amounts of liability insurance covering the Exploitation of Acorda Products or Medtronic Products, as applicable, by or on behalf of such Party as is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical or medical device industry, as applicable, for parties similarly situated, and shall upon request provide the other Party with a copy of its policies of insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.

ARTICLE 10

TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in each country in the Territory until such time as Acorda no longer owes any royalty payments under this Agreement with respect to such country, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 10 (such period, the “Term”).

10.2 Termination of this Agreement in its Entirety for Material Breach. In the event that either Party (the “Breaching Party”) shall be in material breach in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, in addition to any other right and remedy the other Party (the “Complaining Party”) may have, the Complaining Party may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety upon [***] prior written notice (the “Termination Notice Period”) to the Breaching Party, specifying the breach and its claim of right to terminate; provided always that the termination shall not become effective at the end of the Termination Notice Period if the Breaching Party cures the breach complained of during the Termination Notice Period (or, if such breach cannot be cured within such [***] period, if the Breaching Party commences actions to cure such breach within the Termination Notice Period and thereafter diligently continues such actions).

10.3 Termination by Acorda. Acorda shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more countries in the Territory upon [***] prior written notice to Medtronic.

10.4 Termination by Medtronic. In the event that Acorda fails to comply with any Applicable Law in any country in connection with the Exploitation of Exclusive Products or Licensed Products under this Agreement, Medtronic may, if such non-compliance is ongoing, terminate this Agreement in such country upon [***] prior written notice to Acorda, specifying such failure to comply (and subject to the resolution of any dispute with respect to such termination pursuant to Section 11.7); provided always that the termination shall not become effective at the end of such notice period if Acorda ceases the non-compliance during the notice period (or, if such non-compliance cannot be terminated within such [***] period, if Acorda commences actions to cease such non-compliance within the notice period and thereafter diligently continues such actions). Each separate violation of Applicable Law shall require a separate notice, cure period and termination under this Section 10.4.

10.5 Termination Upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any time, the other Party files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement

or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such other Party or of its assets, or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if the other Party is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within [***] after the filing thereof, or if the other Party proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

10.6 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Acorda or Medtronic are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Party that is not a party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party.

10.7 Consequences of Termination.

10.7.1. Effect on Licenses, Regulatory Approvals and Patent and Other Intellectual Property Rights. Upon any termination of this Agreement with respect to one or more countries in the Territory or in its entirety pursuant to Section 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4, (i) all licenses granted by Medtronic to Acorda pursuant to Section 3.1 shall terminate with respect to the terminated countries in the Territory (or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, with respect to the entire Territory); (ii) Acorda shall relinquish its rights under and assign and cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to assign all of their rights, title and interest, if any, in and to the Regulatory Approvals, Regulatory Documentation and Product Data, to Medtronic or its designee, in each case solely (A) to the extent relating solely to the terminated countries in the Territory (or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, with respect to the entire Territory), and (B) to the extent such Regulatory Approvals, Regulatory Documentation and Product Data were previously assigned to Acorda by Medtronic pursuant to Section 3.2; (iii) Acorda and Medtronic shall each have the right to practice the Joint Patents and the Joint Know-How in the terminated countries in the Territory (or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, throughout the entire Territory) (including by Exploiting products, including Exclusive Products and Licensed Products, under such rights and Know-How); (iv) Acorda shall cease the Exploitation of all Licensed Products and Exclusive Products in the terminated countries in the Territory (or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, with respect to the entire Territory) except in the event of any termination by Acorda pursuant to [***]; and (v) all Product Data required to be assigned to Medtronic or its designee pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 10.7.1 shall thereafter cease to be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Acorda and shall thereafter be deemed to be Medtronic’s Confidential Information. In the event of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety by Medtronic for Acorda’s material breach pursuant to Section 10.2 or pursuant to Section 10.4 or by Acorda pursuant to Section 10.3, the non-compete restrictions set forth in Section 2.4 with respect to Medtronic and its Affiliates will immediately cease and have no further effect.

10.7.2. Right to Sell Stock on Hand. Notwithstanding the termination of Acorda’s licenses and other rights under this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to particular

portions, which are marked with brackets [ ] and an asterisk*, have been separately filed with the Commission

countries, as the case may be, unless such termination is the result of the breach or insolvency of Acorda, Acorda shall have the right for [***] after the effective date of such termination with respect to each country with respect to which such termination applies (or with respect to all countries in the case of termination of this Agreement in its entirety) to sell or otherwise dispose of all Exclusive Product and Licensed Product then in its inventory and any in-progress inventory, in each case that is intended for sale or disposition in such countries, as though this Agreement had not terminated with respect to such countries, and such sale or disposition shall not constitute infringement of Medtronic’s or its Affiliates’ Patent or other intellectual property rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Acorda shall continue to make payments thereon as provided in Article 4.

10.7.3. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit remedies which may otherwise be available in law or equity.

10.7.4. Effect of Termination on Sublicenses. Termination of this Agreement by Medtronic pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.4 shall not terminate any sublicense granted by Acorda pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a Sublicensee; provided that (a) such Sublicensee is not in breach of any provision of this Agreement or the applicable sublicense agreement, (b) such Sublicensee shall perform all obligations of Acorda under this Agreement that are applicable to the sublicensed rights, and (c) Medtronic shall have all rights with respect to any and all Sublicensees as it had hereunder with respect to Acorda prior to termination of this Agreement with respect to Acorda.

10.8 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations.

10.8.1. Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued, including rights to payments, to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including any obligation of either party to pay any amount which became due and payable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to expiration or such termination.

10.8.2. Survival. Without limiting the foregoing, Sections 2.4, 3.1.7 (in the circumstances set forth therein), 4.3.2(c), 4.5 through 4.9 (with respect to payments arising during the Term), 4.10, 5.1, 8.4, 10.6, 10.7 and this 10.8, and Articles 6, 7, 9 (other than Section 9.6) and 11 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments) when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of a Force Majeure Event within [***] after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of such Force Majeure Event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no

longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform. In the event that such suspension of performance lasts for more than [***] and in the absence of such Force Majeure Event such suspension of performance would be a material breach of this Agreement, such other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2.

11.2 Provision of Privileged Information. With respect to any Product Data, Licensed Know-How, Joint Know-How, correspondence, files, patentability reports, search results, inventor notebooks, documents, reports or other Information required to be provided or made available by a Party or its Affiliates to the other Party and its respective Affiliates pursuant to Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 5.2.4, 5.3.3 or 5.5.2 that is subject to legal privilege or Third Party confidentiality obligations (collectively, the “Required Information”), the Party (or its Affiliate(s)) with the obligation to provide or make available such Required Information shall, prior to providing or making available the Required Information and without waiving any available privilege or violating any confidentiality obligations, furnish the other Party with such description of the Required Information as is necessary for the other Party to assess whether it wishes to receive such Required Information and the nature of any Third Party confidentiality obligations to which such Required Information is subject. If the receiving Party still wishes to receive such Required Information, the delivering Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) enter into such agreements with the receiving Party as the receiving Party may reasonably request to preserve any privilege and confidential treatment of any such Required Information.

11.3 Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on or related to the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law.

11.4 Assignment. Without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or to its successor entity or acquiror in the event of a merger, consolidation, other Change of Control or any sale, transfer or assignment of the business of such Party related to Exclusive Products and Licensed Products; provided, further, with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, such assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void and of no effect. All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Medtronic or Acorda, as the case may be. In the event either Party seeks and obtains the other Party’s consent to assign or delegate its rights or obligations to a Third Party, the assignee or transferee shall assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement.

11.5 Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Parties waive any provision of law that would render any provision in this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in any respect, then such provision will be given no effect by the Parties and shall not form part of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and if the rights or obligations of any Party will not be materially and adversely affected, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties shall use their best efforts to negotiate a provision in

Execution Copy

replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable that is consistent with Applicable Law and achieves, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties.

11.6 Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Venue and Service.

11.6.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The Parties agree to exclude the application to this Agreement of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

11.6.2. Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 11.7.4 and Section 11.11, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial.

11.6.3. Venue.

11.6.4. Service. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 11.8.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.

11.7 Dispute Resolution.

11.7.1. General. Subject to Section 11.7.4, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with the interpretation, validity or performance of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Dispute”), then either Party shall have the right to refer such Dispute to its Authorized Representative for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations during a period of [***]. For purposes of this Section 11.7, an “Authorized Representative” shall mean an in-house counsel or senior executive who has authority to resolve the Dispute on behalf of the Parties. The Authorized Representatives shall confer as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue, which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The Authorized Representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the Authorized Representatives, but may include the preparation of agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position. The Parties agree that any such written statements will be prepared in connection with settlement negotiations, and as such will be protected under FRE 408 and shall not be used against the Party who prepared such statement unless it is subsequently introduced by the preparing Party in formal proceedings. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Authorized Representatives in writing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Authorized Representatives are not able to agree on the resolution of a Dispute within such period, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, elect to initiate mediation pursuant to Section 11.7.2 for purposes of having the Dispute resolved.

11.7.2. Mediation. Subject to Section 11.7.4, any Dispute that cannot be resolved by the Authorized Representatives pursuant to Section 11.7.1, may be submitted to non-binding mediation under the then-current CPR Mediation Procedure within [***] following the close of the period for informal negotiations under Section 11.7.1.

The mediator shall be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. The mediator shall apply the substantive law of the State of New York in construing or interpreting this Agreement. The Parties covenant that they shall participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they shall share equally in its costs. Should the Parties fail to resolve the matter through mediation, either Party may commence litigation as set forth in Section 11.7.3 below. All proceedings and decisions of the mediator shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Article 7.

11.7.3. Litigation. If, after completion of the required dispute resolution procedures provided in Sections 11.7.1 and 11.7.2, a Dispute between the Parties remains, any Party may commence a proceeding regarding such Dispute in the jurisdiction set forth in Section 11.6.2.

11.7.4. Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, interlocutory decree, preliminary receivership, or other interim equitable relief concerning a Dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.7.4 shall be specifically enforceable.

This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, promises and representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby. Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any representations or warranties of the other Party except as specifically set forth herein. No amendment, modification, release or discharge shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

11.10 English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language.

11.11 Equitable Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in Section 2.4 and Article 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of Section 2.4 or Article 7 may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of Section 2.4 or Article 7, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.

Parties agree to waive any requirement that the other (a) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief and (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of xxxxx, consideration of the public interest or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy. Nothing in this Section 11.11 is intended, or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

11.12 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by the other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

11.13 No Benefit to Third Parties. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.

11.14 Further Assurance.
